Fear of dying

Fear of dying anxiety and anxiety attack symptom:

You fear that what you have is terminal and nobody
knows. You may also fear that the chest pains are a deadly heart
attack or that the shooting pains in your head are the result
of a tumor or aneurysm. You feel that any one of the symptoms
you experience are life threatening. You feel an intense fear
when you think of dying, or you may think of it more often than
normal, or can’t
get it out of your mind.

You may also fear leaving your family/loved ones behind and
on their own. You may have a 'sense' that you may die soon or
that you have an ongoing fear of death and its implications.

NOTE: There are direct
physiological and psychological reasons why anxiety symptoms
occur. The Recovery Support area contains detailed information about
common anxiety symptoms including what they are, why they occur,
and what you can do to eliminate them. It includes the anxiety
symptom fear of dying.

The combination of good self-help information and working with an experienced anxiety disorder therapist, coach, or counselor is the most effective way to address anxiety and its many symptoms. Until the core causes of anxiety are addressed - we call these core causes the underlying factors of anxiety - a struggle with anxiety unwellness can return again and again. Dealing with the underlying factors of anxiety is the best way to address problematic anxiety.
